Axially-functionally graded materials are/ types of traditional composite materials in which the mechanical and physical properties are gradually varied from one end to the other. They were used ...

Smacking a planet-threatening asteroid comes with big responsibility. If we slam an impactor into an asteroid in exactly the wrong spot, the space rock may pass through a "gravitational keyhole" that ...

In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle ...

"Chemical rockets that we use today, even with the extra speed boost from flying by planets, or from swinging by the sun for a boost, just don't have the ability to scale to useful interstellar speeds ...

Valeo has been granted a patent for a method to control motor vehicle lighting devices. The method involves receiving instructions for a pixelated light function, creating and correcting digital ...

Microscope images could be obtained much more quickly -- rather than one pixel at a time -- thanks to a new imaging method for neutral atomic beam microscopes. It could ultimately lead to engineers ...

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission struck the 160-m moonlet asteroid Dimorphos (shown) in September 2022, changing its orbital period but generating a trail of debris called a surface ...

Abstract: Curved beams are frequently used structural elements in traditional and emerging fields of civil and mechanical engineering with usual requirements of vibration and deformation analyses ...
